ATTACHMENTS: None
APPROVED BY: ddj
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve the Mayors Recommendation to Appoint
Dan Wolf to Complete a Non-Councilmember Term on the Port Authority with the Term to
Expire 3/31/2020.
SUMMARY
The Port Authority Resolution of Establishment indicates that Councilmembers can serve on the Port
Authority. If Councilmembers choose not to serve on the commission, commissioners who are “not
members of the council shall be appointed for terms of six (6) years.” At the end of 2016, Dan Wolf’s
term would be up as his term coincides with Councilmember Demuth’s time in office. The new
Councilmember, Heidi Freske, has indicated she would like to serve on the Port Authority so there are no
additional “council positions” to fill with a public representative. However, some time ago, Tom Luing
had resigned from the Port Authority and that position has remained vacant. The Mayor is charged with
appointing members to the Port Authority with approval by the City Council. The Mayor is
recommending that Dan Wolf, currently a member of the Port Authority be appointed to the vacant
public seat for the remainder of the term, which would be from 1/2017 to 3/31/2020. Mr. Wolf has
indicated he would like to continue to serve on the Port Authority.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to approve the Mayors recommendation to appoint Dan Wolf to complete the non-council term for
the Rosemount Port Authority with a term to expire on 3/31/2020.
